ABOUT
Cam is a Tofino based abstract artist. Born in Ottawa, ON. He completed his double major in Fine Arts and Business at Bishop's University where he discovered his passion for painting.
Cam’s abstract non-representational style is loose and organic. He uses this technique to create a rhythmic visual experience that evokes an emotional response. His free flowing paintings are a means to express inner spiritual feelings without the use of representationalism ideas. Rather than constricting himself to precise outlines while painting, Cam works in a way that allows the colour, shape, form and line dictate how they might be employed in relation to one another. Drawing inspiration from the ocean, where the shifting light, colours, and moods of the coastal environment continually shape his creative vision.
Cam’s paintings are like open-ended stories—what they mean can shift completely depending on who's looking and when. That openness is something he values while working. He usually does not start with a set idea or plan. The process is very instinctive—what ends up on the canvas is the most honest version of Cam’s thoughts and emotions in that exact moment.
